Professional+Brochure


 * Professional Brochure**

Create a brochure about yourself to impress a potential employer. Everyone hands in a resume and letter but you'll stand out in the crowd with your brochure. It gives you an opportunity to personalize your information and to help them put your face with your name.

Include the following: Suggested improvements: Do not just state something, demonstrate its validity as well as explain why it is important for the reader/employer to know. Make the connections! Don't leave them guessing as to why they're reading it. There should be writing, visuals, colour and creative layout. A photograph or two will make it superb! The more of your self invested in the brochure then the better your chance of being hired (or getting an A on the assignment). Microsoft Office, Publisher, has templates for brochures as do Macs. A brochure is created on both sides of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper with a triple fold. Plan carefully ahead so sections are in the proper place and order.
